Rendition Concering Books Three People
They were unlikely companions, the pampered Pliny Hastings, solidly brought-up Benny Phillips, and uneducated street scamp "Tode" Mall . . . not much chance, under ordinary circumstances, that they would ever meet. But God's plans are never ordinary, and the greatest miracles need only the seed of a tiny prayer to bring them to fruition. Thus it was one day in the repulsive rubbish heap of humanity known as "Five Points" that a dying mother showed her ragged, neglected boy the only kindness he would ever know from her when she prayed. "O Lord, don't ever let Tode touch a drop of rum!"And so that one small, desperate prayer went forth, setting in motion the beginnings of hope--and stirring in little Tode a determination so great that it transformed not only his life, but also the lives of the astonishingly different people whom he came to know, protect . . . and love. Heartwarming stories of faith and love by Grace Livingston Hill's aunt--Isabella Alden. Each book is similar in style and tone to Hill's and is set in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

One of top 5 favorite books in the world. Basically a well put temperance lecture of the era. . .However, it is so much more than that. The story of Tode Mall as he makes his way up from the gutter with just one rule. No Rum. He soon becomes a Christian and the way that changed his life and raised him farther up in the world. The story of his strong Christian faith has always been encouraging to me. That being said, I read it probably 10 times over the years and still find it enjoyable. That old3.5 stars.HA! Somebody, anybody, please give me a pat on the back for finishing this! It took me over two months, but hey! At least I did it!
This was so good! At first it was a tiny bit slow - - talking about babies after all... And then you meet Tode as a baby and instantly I was hooked. As the story goes on it increasingly gets better. Tode/Theodore is wonderful. I just loved his character. The supporting characters are also well done... I enjoyed Jim although he is more of a background character. Pliny is likable despite his bad and weak ways and certainly engaged my empathy. There's humor, wonderful truths, and a little bit of
loved it
Aaargh...this is a hard review to write. Pansy is a favorite author, but this one isn't one of my favorites of hers. Probably not my least favorite, and there was a lot that I did like about it, but some things still bugged me.I think most of her books that I haven't liked as well as the rest have had a very strong temperance theme. That's not necessarily a predictor--Little Fishers and Their Nets is an absolute favorite--but it's definitely a theme I've noticed. Why it bugs me so much is
definitely Not as good as a GLH book but it was okay. Not to plausable but I would read it again and i would recommend it as long as people understand that it is Not a GLH book no matter how much the cover looks like it. yep fooled me at a book sale a year ago.
